Caching & SEO

The public site is built for search engines first: HTML arrives complete, pages are cached, and every page says what it is.

Cache Components

The app uses Next.js Cache Components. Public data functions in src/lib/public-data.ts are marked "use cache" with a one-hour lifetime and a tag per company (company:slug). The page shell is prerendered; request-specific parts (the signed-in renter, for instance) stream in inside Suspense.

When staff save inventory, pages, news, settings or an import, the server action calls updateTag for the company, so the public site shows the change on the next view instead of after an hour.

Metadata and structured data

• Every public page sets a title, description, canonical URL and Open Graph tags.
• The home page carries LocalBusiness JSON-LD, item pages Product with an Offer, and news posts NewsArticle.
• Absolute URLs are built from BETTER_AUTH_URL, so set it to your real origin.

Sitemaps and robots

This site

The home page and documentation are static HTML generated from the site/ folder at build time and served by the same deployment, so they cost nothing at request time.
